Bawumia Buys Waakye With QR Code



Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has today bought a GHS60 worth of Waakye from a popular Waakye seller in Accra, Auty Muni Waakye, with the  Universal QR Code.

The Bank of Ghana has launched a universal Quick Response (QR) Code payment solution with HPS, making it the first African country to introduce a universal QR code.
